Hi folks I've just released another handful of sketches and studies on paper and canvas including more of my aerogami dollar planes and some new ones based on nuclear subs and rubber ducks which you can see a few examples below:










I will be including some randomly drawn out of a hat extra special art prizes for some lucky buyers.

All the best,

R

Tragic Bullet




A new piece that I painted as part of a series which is as anamorphic illusion in spraypaint on the floor of a derelict tower block in Leeds.

It features a Mac-10 machine pistol in an origami style with bullets formed from pills. The tower block is frequented by junkies from the local slum which is rife with drug gangs tearing the place apart.

I run a agency in Headingley in Leeds. Where exactly is this?

[johnnyh]

Nice piece Replete. Amazing technique

[Replete]

thanks guys and it's in south Leeds but I'm a bit hesitant to say exactly where it is as the building is very structurally damaged and frequented by some unpredictable folk.

[fatscoundrel]

Point taken. Sometimes I just wish I was 16 again instead of 36. I loved it at that age going round the areas of the town where no one used to tred. Happy days. Great work anyway.

[Replete]

I know the feeling as I'm the same age but it doesnt stop me in my exploits as over the last two decades I've breathed in so much solvents, asbestos dust and dried pigeon shit the damage is already done and I have no one depending on me I can afford to be reckless.

This piece is painted on the top floor and the roof above is like a swimming pool its so full of water from the recent rain that the already heavily damaged roof could collapse any minute and I wouldnt want to be partly responsible for anyone getting a rather fatal cold shower.

[fatscoundrel]

Well I have 4 year old and partner so cannot take that risk anymore.

[idiom]

Gorgeous as ever. This looks great. We're looking to try our hand at an anamorphic piece but just have to find the right space for it...

Cheers

[Replete]

Well if you want to see some of my other pieces in Leeds there's some in public view on a building on Hyde park Road and more on Rosebank Road nearby.

Thanks Id-iom, I find working in anamorphics very rewarding and mind bending experience and I'm currently working on the design for my next piece in this series. I learned a lot doing these pieces last year including inventing animorphics which is a mixture of snimation and anamorphics:

close up shot where you can see more of the stretched illusionary nature of the piece:

[fuzzed]

Brilliant piece replete, very innovative! Do you have any photos from a different angle so we can see the size of the piece?

Really cool!

[elwheel]

That is fantastic! How freaked out must the local visitors be when they enter that room for a wee drink or smoke or whatever. Class.

Love that outlook!

[Replete]

cheers guys and I dont have other shots of the piece but I'll be down there soon painting the next piece in the series so I'll get some more pics. It's about 12 feet across. When I get more paint to play with I'll be doing larger illusions.

My mate said the same thing Elwheel to which I said I'd hope so at least it'll give them something to stare at for a while their buzz lasts.

And it's the only way to be for me Leftery as I love dangling my toes over the abyss.

[ABC]

Stunning as usual.

[Replete]

thanks ABC always good to hear from you.

[Replete]

As requested here's another shot where you can see the size of it:



If you liked this piece wait till you get a look at the next one in the series that I'll post up on Tuesday.

[Replete]

Here's the second piece of my series that I painted this weekend:

The Unending Year Of The Dragon



It's an anamorphic spraypaint illusion of a tinfoil origami dragon on a skeletal hand painted on the floor of a derelict building in Leeds used by heroin addicts.

[Dr Plip]

Stunning work. Really nice.
Might freak out some heroin users though.

[Replete]

Thanks Plip and I reckon it might give some of them a bit of entertainment staring at it.

[Replete]

Here's the Inital outline sketch for the illusion:

[Collection 1]

WoW! Stunning work as always!!
